    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198091538156

    Victim profile: 76561198084621244

    What happened? Description:
    This user's accomplice wanted to check that my friend's (Tonye West) hat was not duplicated by having him trade me his hat, then trading it back. We thought this was strange but after our transaction when I gave the hat back to what I thought was my friend the accomplice then asked me to trade my hat to this user who was impersonating my friend to "See our friendship". I almost did until I skyped my friend and found out he was a fraud. I then asked the impersonator his name and tonye was asked seconds later by the accomplice what his name was. Tonye gave a fake name and as seen in the screenshots, the scammer believed him. I will also fill out a report on the accomplice. I have also attached screenshots of the impersonator with Tonye's profile picture and previous usernames.​
